For those who are subscribed to Sports Illustrated, the baseball preview came in the mail today with an amazing article on Brian Cole, an amazing minor leaguer in the late 1990s until his untimely death in 2001.

Here's an article about one of his past teammates that is in the SI article and has worked in baseball movies and is doing a documentary on him:

I know the legends of Greg "Toe" Nash as well, but do any of you know of any other stories like these? Always neat to read stories like these. It doesn't have to pertain to baseball either

I saw Cecil in one preseason game for the Dolphins. What a nut.

Great read, I want to read the article now, especially to see what some of the players said about him.

Ed O'Bannon - tore ligaments in knee in HS all star game. Was the best HS player I've ever seen. 25 years ago the ACL was almost an athletic death sentence.

Same with Livingston.

Ed O'Bannon was a national POY & was a high draft pick.

i dont think that hindered him much
